HPC @ LSU | LONI HPC Workshop at LSU

LONI High Performance Computing Workshop

HPC @ LSU will hold a Fortran Programming Workshop on February 13 - 16 in Johnston 338 at LSU in Baton Rouge.

This workshop will cover concepts of Fortran 90/95 Programming including Basic and Advanced Concepts, Development, Debugging and Parallel Programming.

This year we are restructuring the workshop to better serve you by focusing more on programming and development tools

Prerequisites:

A LONI or LSU HPC account,
A Laptop with a SSH Client and X-Server.
Working knowledge of using LONI or LSU HPC clusters, visit http://www.hpc.lsu.edu/training/tutorials and/or https://docs.loni.org/moodle and review past HPC training recordings and/or moodle courses.
Programming experience in some advanced language such as C, C++ or Fortran is not required but preferred

Account: This workshop will include hands-on exercises on LSU HPC and LONI supercomputers. To request an account please visit

You have to put in a valid institutional email address and a link to the account request form will be sent to that email address. You click the link in your email message and you will be directed to the account request form. Please fill that form to request a account (You must put your advisor as your Contact/Collaborator if you are a student, postdoctoral researcher or research associate).

Laptop: This workshop will include hands-on exercises on supercomputers, therefore each participant needs to bring a laptop with SSH or PuTTY and X-Server installed. If you do not have a laptop, please contact Kathy Traxler at ktraxler@lsu.edu so that she can provide one for you.

Registration: Registration is closed. The seat space is limited, please register early to be guaranteed a seat in the class.

This training will be a four day workshop introducing the user to Fortran Programming and Development. The schedule is as follows.
